Is Cauliflower a Flower?

For more than 40 minutes, I was waiting at Vanaz Corner bus stop on Paud Road, for the bus to Bhugaon. My knee had already started paining. I was not sure whether i would be able to walk from Bhugaon Bus Stop to the sales office of Paranjape Schemes' Forest Trails.

Was it worth the trouble - to visit Forest Trails? After all, i have seen the floor plans of 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats. Property prices? I can call 95033 99955 & talk to Rishikesh Dharmadhikari, Marketing Manager of Forest Trails Bhugaon. This is enough to write a blog about the pre-launch offer of 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats in Paranjape Schemes' Forest Trails Bungalows Township at Bhugaon!

After all, a flat is a flat! Since, the flat is from Paranjape Schemes only difference would be property price. Still, expensive 2 bhk flat is, ultimately, only a 2 bhk flat! Being in Forest Trails is not going to change the fact - a flat is a flat! Though the cauliflower is a flower - you don't gift cauliflower to your girl friend. You give it to your wife to cook. Better, I should go home and rest!

Gossip God of Bhugaon:

When i got down at Manas Lake bus stop at Bhugaon, i asked myself again- Ravi, can you walk up to the sales office of Forest Trails? Is it worth taking so much trouble to write a blog on the pre-launch offer of 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats in Paranjape Schemes' Forest Trails Bungalow Township at Bhugaon?

Pointing at the new road to the site office, i asked one Gaonwala who, i didn't know why, was looking at Forest Trails Bungalows, "How far are the bungalows from here?"

"To use this road! Because, Bharat Forge has 100 acre land on that hill behind Paranjape!," the Gaonwala said.

"Paranjape's 140 + Bharat Forge's 100 is there so much land on these hills?," i asked.

"Lot more than that - recently Paranjape has purchased 40 acres - now, he has 180 acres - and will purchase more - he is ready to pay any price - you open your mouth - he will put money in it! You know? Paranjape started at 50,000 for a Guntha - now, pays more than 3 & a half lakh!," the gaonwala said.

"Paranjape can build roads & houses but - what about water?," i asked.

"Paranjape has put a pipe line from the Bhugaon Lake! He can fetch as much water as he can - but Bhugaon Lake will never get dry! Why? Because, there is a never ending water supply to Bhugaon Lake! Natural stream from a temple at Bhukum. You know why? Because, old people say, Parwati - wife of Bhagwan Shankar - took a bath in that temple in Bhugaon! At that time, God has made arrangement of water for her - which continues to flow even now!," the gaonwala said.

"God has done a good job! Good for you! Good for Paranjape!," i said and started walking.

After god there is only one person on this earth who only speaks the truth - and nothing but the truth! That person is Shri Rishikesh Dharmadhikari. Marketing manager at Forest Trails Bhugaon. Obviously, first, i went for his darshan.

Rishikesh read my mind - When only 3 bungalows are left available for booking in the first phase, instead of launching the 2nd phase, why 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats? - and said, "For the parents of the students in Sri Sri Ravishankar Vidya Mandir School at Forest Trails Bhugaon Pune 411 042 (www.ssrvmpune.in)! Everyday students come in 15 buses from all over Pune. Parents said - we may change our homes - but, not the school. Anyways, we were going to launch the flats - why not now? - first, opened waiting list - and, now, pre-launch offer for Tower 1 & 2"

God has given a few gifts to me, too! Looking at the paper in Rishikesh's hand, i asked him, "How many 3 BHK Flats are available? 2 or 3?"

"3! But good number of 2 BHK Flats are available in the pre-launch offer. Because, on a floor out of 6 flats 4 are 2 BHK Flats - it was designed keeping in mind the parents' budget!," Rishikesh said.

"Yes! Spiritual people have bigger budgets than IT Professionals! Rs. 55 Lakhs for a 2 BHK Flat! You know? Near Hinjewadi everyone has a budget of 45 - 48 lakhs for a 2 BHK Flat!," i tried to enlighten Rishikesh.

"Forest Trails is for those who value standard of living! Now, good news is you can get the same standard of living even if you can't afford a bungalow. Now, you can get a 3 BHK Garden Flat for approx 75 to 100 Lakhs, a 3 BHK Duplex for 1.6 Crore and even a 2 BHK "Terrace" Flat or a 3 BHK "Terrace" Flat for approximately 62 to 76 Lakhs! All these types of flats offer you pleasure of living in Forest Trails - an opportunity to enjoy beautiful nature - pollution free environment!," Rishikesh said.

"Rishikesh, pure air and colorful flowers are not enough - one needs water too!," i said.

"We have received a permission to lift 3.5 lakh litres from Manas Lake and 18.5 Lakh litres from Mula River! We are going to put 8 kilometer pipe line to lift this water which will be stored, processed and supplied to each home. You are free to use as much as you like - because, you will be paying as per your water meter installed in your home. For the gardens in the bungalows, we will be providing recycled water - nearly at no cost!," Rishikesh said and explained the rain water harvesting system in the 140 acre township.

In the last three years, Rishikesh has religiously explained to each and every visitor the cost of developing and maintaining infrastructure in Forest Trails Bhugaon. Now, because of these 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats in upcoming (2 levels of parking + 11 story) 6 towers - located near Sri Sri Ravishankar Vidya Mandir School, most of the visitors will be able to live in Forest Trails Bhugaon!

There is something about Forest Trails Bhugaon!

I came out of the sales office. Standing in the Theme Circle, i went on looking around. Was i really here only for the pre-launch offer of 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats in Paranjape Schemes' Forest Trails Bungalows Township at Bhugaon? Or was it just an excuse to spend some time in Forest Trails? Why am i guessing when i can give a test and find out the motive? A small walk up to the club house is more than enough to find out my intentions! Do you want to know the results of my test? Have a look at these photographs i clicked at Paranjape Schemes' Forest Trails Bungalows Township at Bhugaon Pune 411 042!

This looks awesome. I wish I could afford to buy a second 2bhk flat here. I have already bought my house at Baner.If it were to be a city within a city the distance wouldn't matter. This looks like a much better development than Magarpatta. Of course magarpatta was old style development. So one can't compare it with Forest trails. Also one can't deny the natural beauty and the hill setting of this township.Ravi, do they have any IT parks/SEZ planned here?? Or will that be left to Kalyanis who have land behind them??

I have found this article very interesting. It’s a beautifully written article. The write has gathered and arranged information in a brilliant fashion. The beauty of this article is in its language and verbosity. The subject of this article is also very capturing.

this seems to nice and well planned township. and really remarkable bungalows and actually one can get a same lifestyle of the bungalows by purchasing 2bhk flat in forest trails.... may that is why it is being said as Lifestyle Apartments...

ha ha ha!! great to see Vikas Yewale, marketing associate from Paranjape Schemes, comment about the virtues of buying a home in this scheme. Poor guy didn't have the intelligence to write under an alias or use a different name

Ravi - what is the cost of a bungalow or row house in this scheme? I am assuming that the only ones available would be via resale
